Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Bernard Ier (Lunebourg ; besant) ND (1011-1059) from Duchy of Saxony (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and historical significance of the region where it was minted. The coin's obverse side features an image of Bernard Ier, the Duke of Saxony, while the reverse side features a besant, which is a stylized depiction of a Byzantine coin. This design was used to symbolize the connection between the Duchy of Saxony and the Byzantine Empire, which was an important trading partner at the time. The use of silver in the coin's minting also signifies the value and wealth of the region.
